If the user tries to quit Gnus when there are still some unsaved and
modified message buffers, Gnus asks him whether it should kill these
buffers. If the user presses C-g to investigate the situation, Gnus
is left in an inconsistent state, which is bad.
I think Gnus should either save these buffers automatically when the
user quits Gnus, or ask the user whether to save them.

I see two other options as well:
3) Run that part of `gnus-clear-system' earlier so that a `C-g'
won't leave Gnus in an inconsistent state
4) Ignore all unsaved message buffers
